Antimicrobial resistance disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries. But in these countries, collecting data can be challenging. In our Behind the Research newsletter, Andrew Kambugu Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University explains why data is key to finding new antibiotics and solutions ⤵️

Antimicrobial resistance is one of our greatest public health threats. It kills over a million people every year. However, political action remains weak and fragmented. 2024 must be the year that changes.

Notable progress has been made in tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the last 15 years – from getting the issue on the global political agenda to advances in research and development. But stronger, more ambitious action is needed to tackle the enormity of the threat ⤵️

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat. Without urgent action, bacterial AMR will account for three deaths every minute between 2025 and 2050. The latest GRAM report in The Lancet gives vital new evidence. Read on for key takeaways ⤵️ [1/3]

Grateful for the opportunity to share our work in the poster sessions at the 8th World One Health Congress and connect with global experts. A big thank you to Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University & EDCTP for their invaluable support! 🌍🧬 #OneHealth #Gratitude #Bioinformatics #PHICAMS-TMA2020CDF-3159

Today, the UN General Assembly will host a critical High-Level Meeting on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It's a chance for global leaders to come together and agree on how to deliver much-needed action on AMR. Here's what you need to know ⤵️ #UNGA2024
